ClawShield — Constitutional Execution Layer for Autonomous Systems

ClawShield is a constitutional execution governance layer that evaluates proposed actions against compiled policy, gates execution behind cryptographic approval tokens, and produces Ed25519-signed receipts for every decision.

What is ClawShield?

ClawShield is a runtime governance system for autonomous systems and AI agents. It sits between intent and execution, enforcing that every action passes through policy evaluation before proceeding.


How does ClawShield enforce governance?

ClawShield uses a compiled OPA WASM policy engine with default-deny semantics. Actions are evaluated against Rego policies. Allowed actions receive a signed JWT approval token. High-risk actions require multi-signature human attestation before execution proceeds.


What artifacts does ClawShield produce?

Every governance decision produces a SHA-256 decision hash. Every execution produces an Ed25519-signed receipt. All kernel state transitions are anchored to an append-only ChainOfFact witness ledger, creating a tamper-evident audit trail.


Who should use ClawShield?

ClawShield is designed for operators of autonomous systems, AI agent runtimes, and enterprise toolchains that require verifiable proof of governance compliance for every action taken.
